Our lunch meeting will also include a tech presentation:   Mike Palmer from Sinclair Broadcast will present: Continuing Development of Technical Standard to Protect Against AI Fakes: C2PA

The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is an open technical standard providing publishers, creators, and consumers the ability to trace the origin of different types of media.  It provides the technical means to declare where media was captured, by whom, by what device, geolocation information from the point of capture, and any production or distribution processes that may have been applied.  C2PA allows producers to lay claim to their video in a way that cannot be faked or modified.  This not only protects their brand against AI fakes, but also allows them to better manage and monetize their own content and archives.

Technically, C2PA defines a schema for describing provenance and specific assertions of fact.  It allows this description to be digitally signed and locked to the media file through the use of certificates and a hierarchy of certificate authorities – very similar to how internet domains are protected today by certificates.

Mike Palmer is AVP of Advanced Technology/Media Management for Sinclair Broadcast, where his team's transformation-enabling media management and media pipeline services span over 200 distribution channels and media properties. Palmer joined Sinclair's Advanced Technology group in 2021 after more than 20 years as a leader in the design of commercial products and services for various broadcast and media vendors.

Palmer holds a BS in Broadcasting/Journalism from the University of Southern Colorado. Prior to working in the broadcast vendor space, Palmer worked in local station operations and news, as well as pioneering SNG and DBS businesses.

Palmer's work has been recognized with a national Technical Emmy, Broadcast & Cable's Technology Leadership Award, The Associated Press Oliver Gramling Award, and numerous product awards. He is also an active member of SMPTE, The National Press Club, and the NATAS/Emmy Technology Award Committee.
